1t is confidently asserted by saw
mill men of experience that the west
side railroad to Port Townsend Bay
can be made paying property from
ths start, by tapping large bodies of
valuable timber. 1t is conceded by
practical railroad men that the road
is c coming necessity, that its appear
snce is merely question of time, and
thst the only real problem in connee-
ton with it viii be to make it self
sustaining after it is built We be-
lisys the whole matter is rapidly re-
solving itself down to a practical
basis from which capitalists can
Gaisly build. A little intelligent in :
vestigation by practical men will
demonstrate the truth of our predic-
ton.

In NEW YORK.

The most important election OF 1887
will be held in. New York next fall. 1t
is only for the choice of q legislature and
State officers below Lieutenant Governor.
The actual result of the election will not,
therefore, have any considerable infu-
ence on the country at large, but it will
be warmly contested because Of what it
will signify concerning the probabilities
Of 1888, The most ingenious political
figuring cannot make out possible VIC
tory for either great party in the next
Presidential election without the thirty
five electoral votes OF New York. The
State election next fall will be in the ma
ture of a skirmish preliminary to the
pitched battle which is to come a year
later. The Democrats have an apparent
advantage in the fact that they now hold
all the State offices which are to be filed
at the coming election.
Governor Hills admirable campaign
eighteen months ago swept the State
house clean of Republican officials. The
Democrats ought to hold the advantage
they gained then. 1t will be hard for
them to capture the legislature. As legis-
lative representation is arranged in New
York, the cities, which are the Demo
cratic strongholds, do not have delega-
tions proportionate, on a basis of popula-

THE LENGTHENING GROWTH.

The marvellous growth of the railroad
interests of the country is illustrated by
the fact that old men are still living who
took the first ride with Peter Cooper in
the first steam locomotive in America.
The locomotive was simply an old station
ary engine, about the size of a barrell,
mounted on truck, and connected with
the wheels by crank. 1t pulled an old
fashioned coach, loaded with forty-two
passengers, thirteen miles in fifty-seven
minutes. On the return trip it raced
with two fast horses. The contest was
nip and tuck, when the band slipped off
the fywheel. Peter Cooper, then en-
gineer, in attempting to replace it, )acer-
ated his hand. The horses won the race.
The first engine of really servicable quail
ties was manufactured at York, Pa, by
Phineas Davis. 1t made one mile in
three minutes, drawing thirty persons,
and it took the prize offered by the Balti-
more & Ohio road.

THE MAN AND THE HOUR.

Judge Henderson is rapidly making an
enviable reputation among the chosen
and branded vessels of the Lord upon
the earth.
A rural church exchange fervently calls
attention to him as prosecutor of the
Cody" and the church organ proper
speaks ON out the very Tabernacle itself
aud compliments His Honor as Gu
dicial fanatic"
All this means that Judge Henderson
is terror to the polygamous Church, and
is hated with great hatred by those OF
evil minds and actions, commonly called
cohabs. None of the guilty shall go un-
whipped of justice, is Judge Henderson's
motto, and it is motto strictly lived up
to. Hence, the Church howl, the gnash-
ing of teeth of the polyg. and of the
cohab. In Judge Henderson's hands the
whip of justice does its appointed duty
without fear, favor or faltering. The
righteous lash cuts deep into the carnal

AN INTERSTATE OPINION.

One of the first complaints presented
against the Interstate Commerce bill
came from the wool interest in California.
1t asked for suspension of the long and
short haul clause, in respect to wool
shipments from that quarter, on the
ground that, under the law, wool export
from California to the East would be
nearly, if not quite, impossible.
Against this concession some of the
wool merchants hereabouts have strongly
protested. They have shown that in .he
past wool has been brought east from the
Pacific coast for from fifty to sixty cents
a hundred pounds, while the rate from
points very much farther east has been
as high as from So to $3.50 hundred
pounds. This is precisely what the law
was intended to stop, and suspension of
the operation OF the law, for the purpose
of permitting it to continue, would be
defiant of the very intent and spirit of
the act.
The Pacific railroads were built largely
with public money; they were con-
structed at the cost of every citizen, not
for the sole benefit OF the people of the
Pacific Coast, but for the advantage of
the entire body of people in every part
OF the country. For these corporations,
rOccaccip1 cuob od,,optooo, o,J olo1lol
with such privileges, to use their power
to injure-perhaps to ruin-the business
of one class of individuals for the pur-
pose OF benefiting another class, is
shameless outrage which the govern
ment was required by the most ordinary
considerations of decency and justice to
Suppress.
These corporations have for years
played into the hands of a sugar mono
poly, which has robbed the people of
California, and they have persistently
favored certain interests, like this wool
interest, at the cost of others. The new
law puts its foot on such transactions. 1t
makes compulsory something like fair
dealing. California may, even yet, get
as low rate to Philadelphia for wool as
Ohio gets, but to demand the sanction of
the commission for a rate only one-sixth
as great as Ohio has to pay is both
audscious a I'D impudent.-TeTtile Re
cord.

ton, to those from the towns and rural
districts which are controlled by the
Republicans. The Democrats would
have to carry New York by big
majority to get control of the legisla-
ture. 1t is possible for them to do
this if they become thoroughly united
and lay aside the petty local quarrels
which have often made them easy prey
to minority party.
The New York Democrats are in good
shape, in much better shape than would
be supposed by those who mistake the
grumblings of few sore-heads for the
expression of general discomfort. The
marplots who, for various reasons, all of
which are bad, have endeavored to bring
about conflict between the friends Of
President Cleveland and the friends of
Governor Hill, have done their worst,
and yet they have not created any seri-
GUS dissensions in the ranks of the New
York Democracy. 1t is to the honor OF
Governor Hill that he has not only had
no part in this miserable business, but
has used his influence to thwart it.
Next November there will be no Cleve.
land men and no Hill men when the
Democrats face the Republicans in New
York. But there will DE great host o.
Democrats who are honestly devoted tc
the best interests of their party and theil
country, and they will be strong enough
to carry New York, even though few
unhappy politicians who float Demo
cratic co!ors may be found giving aid and
comfort to the enemy.

CIVIL RIGHTS IN GEORGIA.

Colonel ]. N. Hale, of Henry county,
Georgia, desired to ride in car on the
Central Railroad of that State which was
set apart for colored passengers, He
purchased ticket. took seat in the ear
and was preparing to enjoy himself,
when the conductor stepped in and
elected him from the car. He claimed
that his ticket entitled him to ride in any
car on the train, but the conductor enter
tanned a different view Of the matter.
The result of this difference of opinion is
a suit against the railroad company for
s., 500 damages Colonel Hale contends
that under the provisions OF the Civil
Rights bill he had right to ride in the
car set apart for colored passengers, and
that he is entitled to damages for being
put out of the car. The case is to be
tried in the United States District Court
at Atlanta, and it will determine what
rights white men have under the law.

THE TWO PROBLEMS.

There are to-day two problems in
France which take precedence of ev-
erything else, and to which all the ma
chinery Of public activity are subordi-
mated. Both depend upon contingency
OF war. One is the organization of the
military forces of France; the other is
the organization of her financial resour-
ces.
Alongside of these two gaeat interests
which, in reality, constitute but one, the
rivalries Of party occupy but a secondary
place. Whether the war be regarded as
inevitable, or whether the hope be re-
tanned, apparently chimerical, but in
which few men of tenacious illusions
are pleased to indulge, of attaining by
other agencies the object of the legiti-
mate aspirations of France; all, we say,
are united upon the point that the ma
tional army-should always, at every mo-
ment, and upon the first signal, be pre-
pared to combat and to VIGOROUSLY re-
pei any aggression on the part of Ger
many. The Chambers are not haggling
upon that point, and the nation will al
ways be ready to give, without muir
mur, its last SOU, whenever the safety of
the country shall be the object of the
sacrifice.
1t is almost needless to recall what has
occurred. The Chamber of Deputies
listened to report of the Budget COM
mittee, which found insufficient the re-
duction of the expenditures proposed by
the Ministry. On the following day the
discussion opened in the Chambers, and
the report was adopted, contrary to the
advice of the Ministry. Immediately NJ
Goblet bore the resignation of the Cabi-
net to the President, NJ. Grevy, who ac-
cepted 1t and summoned to the Elysee
the chiefs of the different republican
groups in the Parliament, in order to
consult them on the reorganization of the
Ministry. There is certainly in France a
great majority that demands to what
purpose have millisrds been expended
for the army since 1871, if we are to re-
main eternally at order arms before the
repeated provocations of Germany. 1t is
to this sentiment that General Boulanger
owes his popularity, because he is the
man whom public opinion judges the
tittest to prepare and to assure the exc
cution of the national will when the mo-
ment of action shall have come.
But his role is not to make himself an
arbiter of parties. In interfering with
politics he could only compromise his
prestige, which would be regretable; for
this prestige, at the present moment, is
one of the forces of France.-Courier des
EtGtS- Unis (Ind) NeD York.

THE LATEST BLASPHEMY.

The Edmunds-Tucker law has now as
sumed a position in the midst OF the
Sanity as Divine dispensation. The
"wish has become father to the thought, F."
and the law whose heavy hand would
crush the faithful to the dust, has now
become, by dint of earnest scrutiny
through Church spectacles, and the ap-
plication of Church requirements and
necessities, favor direct from God.
Hear this blasphemous declaration of
a correspondent of the Provo Enquirer
After pointing out the many tricky ways
in which it is possible for honest Saints
to take the oath and violate the law, this
typical believer says:
"All who carefully watched the proceed
ings of Congress during the formation and
passage of the Tucker amendment, must
have seen the interposing wisdom of the
Almighty in managing Congressional affairs
and turning matters in favor of His people,
making the wrath of man to praise Him.
In this wise, men see deliver8noe, and
gratefully accept his gracious providences."
Thus it is. The God OF the Universe /;
the Lord of the world He who created
heaven and earth; who appoints the
revolutions of time, and directs the course
of the stars, exists purely and simply for
the benefit and well-being of the handful
of fanatics who curse Utah with their
presence.
The Almighty had nothing better to
do than watch from the windows of
heaven the proceedings of the American
Congress while the Tucker amendment
was under consideration
He neglected all other business, and
spent his time at this interesting juno
ture, solely in guiding the minds of
American legislators to conclusion by
which an opportunity was offered for the
practice of the dirty trickery peculiar to
His chosen people.
What blasphemy will not this Church
of Mormon be guilty Of? Not satisfied with
arrogating to itselfthe special providence
and protection of the Almighty. Not
satisfied with making its prophets and
apostles the familiar friends of the most
High, it must now seek to make God
Himself partner, public and avowed,
in its programme Of fraud and chicanery.
''The interposing wisdom of the AL
mighty was seen in managing Con-
gressional affairs" says this Provo mouth
piece of the Church.
In other words the Almighty was the
real author of the Edmunds-Tucker bill.
1t was fashioned by Him with the special
purpose of giving an opportunity to His
people in Utah to evade its provisions by
an open system Of fraud. The word
ing Of the oath was carefully attended to
by Him that the polygamous Saints
might falsify it that they might perjure
themselves in public, and congratulate
themselves in private.
This latest blasphemy means, in a words
that God has acted lie for the benefit of
His Saints on earth. Can blasphemy 90
further? Can superstition be more stu
pid? Can fanaticism be more blind
Decidedly Provo is in the lead.

and deshly evil every time it falls, and
we have the Church's word for it that it
falls quite frequently. The whip of
justice is on a mission to Utah.
That mission is to score polygamy.
In Judge Henderson's hands it does so,
and thereforefore scores success.
Just now the Church is especially
writhing beneath Judge Henderson's whip
OF justice, on two counts.
One is the case of our dear brother
Bulge, and the other is the naturaliza-
ton matter. If the case of dear brother
Bulge the Church not only smarts under
the whip of justice; it suffers as well
from certain sense of defeat. Brother
Bulge has long been notorious as male
factor. He is one to whom habit has
made all the intricacies of the sanity
underground route familiar from Utah to
Idaho. He has been a notable example
of the protection afforded by the Lord to
his Saints in the midst of their persecu-
tons. And to think that the ungodly
had at length prevailed; that the sanity
Bulge, brother and bishop-one OF the
shining lights of polygamy-beloved Of
lust and religion, was at last in the
grip of scoffer and scorner, was more
than the faithful could hear in silence
And so there went up that long an loud
Church howl with Bulge as the burden
thereof, which has echoed through Zion's
temples for the last week, or there
| abouts.
But the naturalization matter is the
one which forms the steadiest source o.
Church compliments to Judge Hender
son. And well may the Church howl
Here His Honor is a veritable SANITY
stumbling block. He has caught the
true spirit OF the naturalization statutes
and vigorously applies this just interpre
tation. No enlisted and enrolled polyg
amous recruit can pass through Judge
Henderson's Court. With His Honor s
polygamist is a polygamist, whether hi
has just come from the fashioning hands
of Mormon missionary, or whether h'
has already practiced his debasing Greco
on Utah's soil.
The man who appears before judge
Henderson in search of the right 0
American citizenship must do so withou
any polygamous leanings or reservations
or he does not become an American Cit
zen. His Honor recognizes that tn
oath of naturalization in Utah has all Q
the bearing and meaning Of the Ed
munds-Tucker oath. How can a mai
demand the right of citizenship when b.
lcannot make good that right by subscrih
ing to the Edmunds-Tucker law-the lay
of the land? Judge Henderson evidentl
thinks it is the more reasonable to sto
man on the threshold than admit hin
to the building, for the mere purpose c
turning him out again.
The man and the hour is the inevitabl
comment called for by Judge Henderson
judicial action. Utah has many sucl
hours. She would be far better off
she had more men like Judge Henderso
to meet the demand of these hours.

Our Republican contemporary is in
favor of boiling things down. This
should not be difficult matter with our
contemporary. With its tendency to
libel suits, its frantic and hopeless en-
deavors to run the Utah Commission,
its straddling endeavors to run half a
dozen editorial policies at once, and the
general i'll favor in which it is regarded
by the loyal element throughout the
Territory, it is surely in hot water enough
to boil anything down.
